I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Word of the Day: PaeanDefinition: Hymn of praise, song of triumph Used in a sentence: On Easter morning a paean of praise filled the cathedral.

Yesterday was an another amazing day on the east coast! The Girl and I toured the Peterboro Basket Company in New Hampshire {I’ll be posting pictures soon!!} and had a wonderful time stopping at thrift stores all over New England. We found some great treasures. 🙂

I’ll be heading back to the Seattle area tomorrow and boy am I going to miss it here. I LOVE the snow. 🙂 I wish I could take some with me.

Hi Mavis! I found you through Pinterest and have started checking out your website several times a day! I have become addicted. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I have been inspired by your plan to read 52 books this year and have 6 under my belt in the last month or so. I haven’t done much reading in quite a while and am really enjoying it again. And I love all the book choices that you post daily. I have enough books on my kindle to last me a long time and I just picked up another 3 today! Thanks!
